A Black Corrections Officer Accuses Walmart of Racial Profiling
A Black corrections officer is suing Walmart after he says he was racially profiled at one of its stores in Georgia.
David Conners, a Clayton County corrections officer, was stopped and handcuffed by a Fayetteville police officer while he was shopping for home decor. Employees believed Conners was someone with the last name Wright who had repeatedly stolen electronics from the store, according to ABC News.
“He’s just in the store, minding his own business, when he’s approached by the police, and everything went downhill from there,” Terance Madden, an attorney for Conners, told ABC News.
